So I'm chilling in this mission in my nightmare, clear the first room and move onto the second where the boss who is supposed to flee is there. Now I don't normally mission with this char who is maxed skilled and using gunnery implants. I know when you shoot Scarlet she warps through the gate.

I take my pot shot with grouped guns at her, and she instapops. Amusingly enough though the mission isn't completed, and once I cleared room and moved onto the next, low and behold she is there in one piece again, and she instapops again. This time I got the mission completion and a cargo container popped out containing a +3 implant.

I got paid the 5m bounty on her twice as well, is that supposed to work like that? I mean she alone was worth 20m for this single mission so I'm curious if its a bug or not that you can pop her twice, and I've never seen the implant drop from her in a separate container than her normal loot.

yeah, it's a known bug/feature/no one really cares since it's a mission/glitch

Hopefully the bug means you get extra bounty for killing her a second time and salvaging her wreck twice. :)

Yup, you get the five million bounty twice, plus the implant. Makes for one of the best blitzing missions, last I checked.

Yup. Since the key isn't consumed you can just skip the first room altogether, pop Scarlet in the second room, warp, pop Scarlet again, BM implant can, and hand in. The lure of all those bounties makes people want to clear it but that's absolutely not the best way to run the mission.

if you have good DPS, you might as well burn the rats; they have good bounties and lots of battleship wrecks to chew up. if you blitz it and then get duo of death 4 jumps away as next mission you'll be kicking yourself.

also: can anyone confirm/deny if she drops an implant in the first room too?

I should buy an Ishtar.
